I see both solutions leverage pretty recent APIs - ViewPropertyAnimator and transientState (level 16).

Any tips how to do this on earlier API levels?
What's the flag that prevents Views from being recycled?

Thanks for this tip. Using this same example, do you know of any way such that when an item disappears, instead of content from below filling out the empty spaces, the content from above will be used?

Thanks
